Show NOBODY WORRYING-. We do not suppose that any Salt Laker need borrow any trouble over the statement printed from Howard Elliott El-liott of tho Northern Pacific railroad, In which lie says there Is no rupture between Hill and Harriman, and that the Burlington 13 not going to build to Salt Iakc'. For there 13 certainly a rupture between Hill and Harriman, and the official announcement of tho building of the Burlington Into Salt Lake has been made by the 'Burlington officials, who know. Besides, the conditions now are such that the great lines must build to Salt Lake, not only the Burlington (which will be llrst), but the Chicago & North-Avcstcrn, North-Avcstcrn, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St-Paul, St-Paul, the Chicago, Rock Island &, Pacific. Pa-cific. Heretofore the connections of the travel over all thepe roads have been made at Omaha. There Avas no object in pushing weBt while thero was but ono road through to the coast. But now, with the road to L.03 Angeles finished, and the Western Paclflo assured, as-sured, Salt Lake City will bo the point of connections, and changes. Tho great lines Avlll have here the choice of three roads to the coast, two of them to San Francisco and one to Los. Angeles and San Pedro, besides the Oregon Short Lino to Portland. This makes It necessary for these roads to come to Salt Lake, for here they have their choice, Avhlle at Omaha they would still be restricted to 'the old line through to the coast. As the affirmation of the Burlington extension comes from a Burlington official offi-cial competent to make it, and tho denial comes from the president of a road that, AA'hile in alliance with the Burlington, has no authority over it, Ave rather guess that it isn't worth while to lie aAA'ake o' nights because of that inconsequent denial. The Burlington is doing too much to permit its extension here being doubted. |
